Words and rhyme - game

Some people only make fists
when blood is being drawn
Some think needles are just a big yawn,
while others are terrified!

(In 1988 I happened to be in the hospital for one of my kids when Worlds was on, and I was watching on my rented TV because Kurt Browning was going for the first quad jump. A nurse brought a student in and asked if I minded if the girl put a new IV needle in my arm, because it was her first attempt on a live person and I was "such a calm patient". I said it was fine with me "as long as she doesn't get between me and the TV set!" The poor kid was shaking with nerves and kept stabbing at me as if I was pincushion, while I was totally absorbed because Kurt was on. When he landed the jump, I let out a little shriek, and then had to hurriedly assure her it wasn't because of her :jumping::jump::console:!)
